Always a must do when in Columbus. There may be a wait, but there are a few shops nearby to browse and kill time. Save room for a half-pound cream puff for dessert. read more

Schmidt’s Sausage Haus Catering - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I caught up with the Schmidt's Sausage truck at a fun alternative pop up they did in place of all our beloved Oktoberfest celebrations that got cancelled! This year they did a collaboration with Graeter's Ice Cream to create a Raspberry Chocolate Chip cream puff, that benefitted *The cure starts now*. Cream Puff? Black Raspberry? SOLD! Nevermind the fact that there would be German deliciousness too! If you've never had anything from these guys, its a must try. Well, I was not the only person who feels this way about Schmidt's apparently because when I arrived at the event at Mason Graeters, the line was wrapped around the building (in the middle of a weekday)! People were really respectful, 6ft away, and patient through the whole thing. It took about 45mins to get to place my order but my god it was worth it. I walked up to the counter and was impressed to see the employees, who were getting slammed, having so much fun! I got the Bahama Mama platter... which is their best tasting sausage along with sauerkraut and amazing German potato salad. I of course also got the cream puffs that I came for. They were straight up the best cream puffs I have ever had! I would stand in line even longer for all this food it was so good! I get the hype now! Follow this truck! (Or you can stop by their physical location in Columbus!). read more

I was walking around Upper Arlington and right there in the Third Fifth Bank parking lot (or it might be Fifth Third Bank--I dont' know what happened to First, Second, and Fourth) was the Schmidt's Sausage Truck. I was cold and little perplexed. On my walk through the neighborhoods I saw several signs with the word ENOUGH. In smaller print was EqualUpperArlington.com. Okay. I was more cold than perplexed. UA is 88% white and 0.252% Aftrican-American. So ENOUGH what? I like places where I can walk around and find a frankfurter in a bank parking lot--even if the bank name is a little schizophrenic. I like that Schmidts doesn't subscribe to that Hot Dog business. It's a Frankfurter! I asked for a Frankfurter with onions and the dude put it together in about 4 seconds. I stuck it in my pocket and used it as a handwarmer on the way back to where I was staying. I ate it standing by a frozen birdbath in the backyard. Plump, juicy, with just a tiny hint of spice that seperated Schmidt from Oscar Myer. On my next walk around the neighborhood, I'm going to look for a Bourbon Truck. Now that would be ENOUGH. read more

In Springfield this evening at Mother Stewart's, arriving in the pouring rain we decided to buy four meals, ordered and went to pay for our two and hand up a $100 bill, the cook is obnoxious telling us no not accepting, we than looked and handed up two twenties and both the cook and the older lady were grumpy, borderline rude just because they did not want to make change, and still would not accept them, we then gave a $20 and my wife had some change to pay. There was absolutely no need to be treated this way, if they asked politely we could have used a credit card. Napkins, are they now in such short supply that you have to beg for two (2) each (per person/meal) The restaurant it ain't! Did I take a photo, why waste my time. Talk about an unpleasant start to a fun evening. The food, OK at best, probably 3 stars. read more

I've been to Schmidt's brick-and-mortar and had recently heard about how they had a food truck about a few weeks ago. I came during Village Lights in German Village and there was a long line! Didn't matter to me since we weren't waiting too long and the workers were quick to prepare food. They mostly had handhelds, like brats and such. I decided to get the Fat Daddy. It's a thick slice of bologna in a pretzel bun. Yummy! It had a nice kick to it. My sister got the Bahama Mama. A brat that she added kraut and pickled cabbage to. She said it tasted like a regular hot dog. Most stuff on the menu is $7.50. Expensive! But I get that they've got to make a profit somehow. Service was alright. No one cracked a smile but they all seemed nice. The menu is pretty limited so I would recommend going to their actual restaurant if you haven't been before. Still, their food is pretty good so it's worth trying the truck as well. You can even get yourself a huge cream puff if you want something sweet. read more

My father's eyes will light up whenever you mention Schmidt's, so this morning I read that their food truck would be close by at the new Tractor Supply and I thought it would be nice to take him. As we pull up I see a line of people and a big fancy truck with absolutely ridiculous prices, I'm reading this menu and see "beef and pork sausage for $13" Now I'm no smoke master but a beef and pork sausage is equivalent to a cheap hotdog, why would you charge a very HIGH price for a poor low quality meat. We immediately got back in the car because two basic sausage's aren't worth $30. A extension of an original 1886 restaurant shouldn't be serving that at those prices, so we drove down to the Dairy Hut and got a full lunch for the cost of 1 of Schmidt's poor quality sausages read more

We ended up coming to the Oakland Nursery in Dublin to get some nice foliage for the house. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sausage truck to be sitting in the parking lot when we pulled in! I love Schmidt's sausage house downtown with their wonderful buffet. It's my go-to location to bring visitors who come visit us in columbus. It was nice to see the truck have the same quality of food as the restaurant downtown. The two dudes in the truck were pumping out food quickly so there was no line waiting for me when I approached the truck. The bahama mama sausages are always my favorite, super snappy with a nice spice. The sauerkraut is always fresh and nice and crisp. The pickled cabbage was off the charts and the german potato salad was good as always. I think I will be hunting down this truck the next time we hit the town! Huzzah! read more

I LOVE Schmidt's. It is a Columbus staple and when you're on the run or don't feel like going to the actual restaurant, the food trucks are the perfect option. They always have multiple food trucks out and about Columbus & the surrounding burbs. They do a really good job of updating their website and social media to let everyone know where the food trucks are. They usually would come to my work on Food Truck Fridays and although all Friday summers had various food trucks, the ones where Schmidt's would partake were always my fave! Working from home since March, I've missed my Food Truck Fridays so I noticed the Schmidt's Food Truck is usually at the Fifth Third Bank in Upper Arlington, a short drive for me. I ALWAYS get the Bahama Mama platter. That is the #1 sausage that Schmidt's has and it is a must try. It's so juicy and flavorful-- just like if you were in the restaurant. All platters also come with red cabbage (fantastic!) and German potato salad (out of this world!). You also cannot leave Schmidt's food truck without getting your hands on one of those jumbo cream puffs. This most recent time, I got the September 2020 special- Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip. SO GOOD! It may be the best of all their cream puffs I've tried. I regretted only getting one. I hope they make this a regular summer collaboration. On my most recent trip to this food truck, they were a well oiled machine. I think I placed my order, was paying and as soon as I hit the tip button and signed, she handed me my bag. Honestly, it cannot take more than 90 seconds. I was very impressed! Can't wait to be back soon. I am a huge fan of Schmidt's and always will be. Make it a priority to get to the restaurant or food truck if you haven't been there yet. They've been in business for over 130 years, so that speaks for itself. So impressive! read more

My grandma lives right by where the truck was parked tonight and the smell drew me in. We walked over and the guys working were super friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. I got a German Bologna platter. My husband got 2 bratwurst. My platter came with the sandwich, red cabbage and German potato salad. I don't like cabbage normally, but I wanted to try it to just see how it was....omg. it was so so so good, so was the potato salad. The bologna.....amazing. my husband is very happy with his brats and has gobbled them both down rather quickly. I will for sure visit again when they are by my grandma's house. read more

Schmidt’s Sausage Haus Catering - Red cabbage, German potato salad, and a German Bologna sandwich with grilled onions. - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We saw the Schmidt's Sausage Truck nearby, so we decided to stop by and pick up some tasty German food. We opted for the popular Bahama Mama platter, which came with a serving of the German Potato Salad and Red Cabbage, a Chicken Bratwurst (with which we were offered onions or sauerkraut on top), and, of course, a Jumbo Cream Puff. We went with the classic vanilla flavor, but they also had blueberry as the monthly flavor that sounded good too. The 'jumbo' size is as-advertised, and we only needed one to split and had plenty. The food was much enjoyed and hit the spot, with both sausages being particular favorites. The staff was friendly and efficient - we had barely finished paying before we were handed the bag. Very good food truck! read more

There were both good and bad things about my order. First, the cashier was very friendly and nice. I got the chicken brat ($8) with onions, baked potato soup ($5 I believe) and Staufs cream puff ($8 I believe). The chicken brat and cream puff were delicious. However, it is a little overpriced. The baked potato soup was entirely flavorless. It tasted like the only two ingredients were cream and potato. I would not recommend the soup. My fiancé got the bahama mama and loved it. I would come back for the sausage and cream puffs, but not the soup. read more

We all know and love Schmidt's tucked in the heart of German Village, but did you know they have a kitchen on wheels?!? Yep. They Schmidt's has a food truck. When I saw it I immediately Yelped it to get the scoop and much to my chagrin, the Sausage Truck doesn't have a Yelp page. Well, it's about time. Their food and service is great. It's well worth talking about. The Sausage Truck rolled into my neck of the woods at corner of Weisheimer and High Street this evening and boy was I excited. I'm not from Columbus, but I had been hearing from coworkers and friends that even if German food isn't your thing, everybody has to try Schmidt's at least once. It was on Man Vrs. Food for heavens sake and the Bahama Mama is THE official food of Columbus (in case you weren't aware). Well, I ventured down to German Village a few weeks back and had a delightful dinner at Schmidt's Sausage Haus. So much so, I have been thinking of the next time I can make it there to get a cup of their potato soup. Gosh, it's so tasty. So when their food truck popped up in the Crimson Cup parking lot today, I had to go. I hadn't gotten a chance to make it down to German Village to get the cup of soup, so the soup came to me! It was fate. Schmidt's Sausage Truck brings most beloved menu items to a street near you. Some of the sausage staples you can expect to be on the menu include the Bahama Mama, Knockwurst, Fat Daddy's, Frankfurter, and more. They offer their classic warm German Potato Salad and a warm cabbage salad if you get the meal. Their Bahama Mama sandwich is served on a white bread-like bun. If their humongous puff pastries are your thing, you're in luck--they've got those too! The coolest part about finding the Sausage Truck in front of the Crimson Cup in Clintonville is they have a deal with Crimson Cup: the Sausage Truck sells the food and Crimson Cup sells the beverages. So grab a bite to eat from The Truck and a tasty Crimson Cup tea to wash it down and pull up a seat at any table in Crimson Cup. It's a pretty amazing. Crimson Cup has indoor and outdoor seating so you've got plenty of options. Expect good sausages. Get good sausages. That's the motto here. Bottom line: it's good. Real good. But don't expect sushi or burgers--expect sausages--it's their thing and they do it right. read more

The food truck should have 5 stars from me .The food is delicious! My complaints happen out at Scioto Downs last Saturday night. I stood in line for almost an hour no problem I was fine with that . as I was standing in line they announced all out of beverages I'm thinking okay that's why I'm in line for food and beverages . I will just get food . i ordered my food and gave a very nice tip. I stepped aside to wait for my food thinking the 2 workers were doing a awesome job handling the extremely busy time for them . i thought to myself I will get a bag for my food . so I would be able to go somewhere else to by drinks then I would be able to carry everything . well this is where my my 3 stars come in . I was waiting patiently knowing that they forgot me standing there so I waited patiently to say something knowing how busy they were . Finally I spoke up and the man was very sorry. Gave me my food I ask for a bag and this is where it went really wrong the lady became a bitch because I wanted a bag for 1 food item platter. she basically tried to ignore me at first I again ask for a bag she went and rip the bag off and said to the the man how stupid it was that I needed a bag for 1 item . The attitdue I didn't need! It made me feel horrible after that because I asked for a bag. This is after she knew I was totally overlooked maybe 15 minutes waiting for my food and was very nice to them being overlooked . read more

One bratwurst was $13 dollars. Simply can't justify that price. Great food but not worth the price of admission.

Driving to my bank in dublin and saw the Schmidt's Sausage Truck parked around the Oakland Nursery .. stopped and ordered a bahama mama platter that included German potato salad (warm of course), red cabbage and an over sized bahama mama on piece of white bread .. I ordered extra sauerkraut !! The smells of the platter resonated in my car on the ride home !! Tore into the platter - with my favorite mustard .. the two types of sauerkraut were spot on ... potato salad did not disapppont , and for those of you who have had the BM, just the right amount of heat in the sausage a paired with the sauerkraut .. they do offer the cream puffs & as you know they are to die for but passed today ..you get a chance to order a platter or sandwich from the Schmidt's Food truck .. excellent comfort food - nice change up from preparing a meal at home .. 3 trucks locally - find one and enjoy the comfort food :) read more

I have had the distinct pleasure to eat off this food truck on multiple occasions. There is a hotel close to where I work that has food trucks on a weekly rotating basis. My coworkers and I have made many pilgrimages to said food truck in search of thick cut grilled bologna, the Bahama mama, and other yummy delicacies and we have always had a great meal. A little pricy for lunch but hey live a little... Good alternative to the same old brown bag. read more

Lived in Hesse Germany 3 times and this is NOT German food. My third and last try, the bahama mamas are over cooked salt blocks full of greese. The bratwurst is even worse. Taste nothing like the real German imbis (sp?) Stands in Frankfurt area. The price, $8.00, for a bahama mama is way steep. What, no pommes friets (sp? French fries), and call yourself German? Will not be back. read more

I love eating here, great food for a reasonable price and the cream puffs are so good as well as the rest of the food.

Schmidt's truck was at my office last week and boy was I excited! This is the same sausages as the restaurant which is great. They have the option for sausage alone or you can add two sides which for the truck is red cabbage and German potato salad. I highly enjoyed my lunch from them! The only reason it's not 5 stars is honestly the price and lack of other side options. The prices are higher than most other trucks. I highly recommend them though if you see the truck around. Great way to get some Schmidt's without having to venture all the way over to the restaurant. read more

Great cream puffs!!!! The guy running the truck was staring at me and my friend and we thought he was kind of cute but truly couldn't tell because of the mask. But still great cream puffs and best place to get German food in Columbus! read more

Today at my job location in Dublin I was standing in line to be serviced and there were only two people working in the truck. The one guy was ringing a lady up in front of me and the other lady at the grill. The lady at the grill asked was any body wanting a creme puff and I said no with the other ladies, however instead of her asking me which i was the next lady in line she decided to ask another which was white as if I wasn't standing there waiting. So of course i stood there for a few minutes while she was fixing the ladies food and she ignored me as if I wasn't there so of course I left. There's no reason for me to stand there to give my money to a company that ignores a person. This truly was a bad experience that I will definitely let others know as well as the office manager of the location as well. read more

Went to buffet like two months ago and they all tasted like hot dogs but the chili was good

I love Schmidt's. I am grateful that the opportunity to get a grilled wurst is available. Their red cabbage is as good as Mom's was. The prices are ridiculous. Some cabbage, a wurst and cream puff is right around $12. I'll pass. read more
